Vote wisely

May 24, 2022 by Guest Post

by J. Ward, Lolo

Trump lost. 160 million people voted. He claimed fraud in his attempt to overturn the free and fair election by we the people. He ran up against honest people of both parties that would not allow his cheating. Trump is the only one I know that tried to cheat, including his friends and followers. Honest Americans stopped him.

Election workers are volunteers, picked randomly. There is a paper count and a machine count that must match. Election workers do not overturn the people’s vote.

There is a lust for power. A lack of integrity and moral authority by the Republican party and some religious leaders.

We need to protect our Montana Constitution, our voting rights, our privacy rights, our public lands, our wildlife, our water.

I find a great need for those that own all that the eye can see, mansions worth millions, that ignore our laws to pay state taxes. Only fair if you have it, we can see it. Pay your taxes. Separation of church and state is a must. Our vote is so important. Know what you stand for, who stands for the most of what people want. This is not the time for grudges.

    First, and foremost, Trump did not lose the election, the election was so obviously stolen that any patriot would welcome investigations by John Durham. O’Biden was never elected, he was placed in his Puppet position by the Deep State and RINO’s, as time will prove. (this is called a soft coup d’état) O’biden’s administration is supporting (with our taxpayer money) the Neo-Nazi regime that Obama and Biden put in place in the Ukraine to protect their Ukraine financial interests – child sex-trafficking, money laundering, and war. As someone who has lived on four continents in seven foreign countries and spent a lifetime with a career military officer, I will give my life for a free America, just as my husband did, and I will always question what is too insane to believe, such as election of a mentally unstable, feeble old man who couldn’t even get 100 people to show up for one of his political rallies. Trump still packs stadiums with 80,000+ people whose eyes are wide open…
    With this mentality (or lack thereof) our country is doomed. Educate yourself. Did you take your Booster yet?

    Oh to be so disconnected. DOJ Special Counsel John Durham: Exposes–cheating, lies, corrupt, coverup activities beyond our imagination.

    Well, to be fair, there was some election fraud in 2020. Yesterday 3 Republicans were arrested and charged with election fraud in Florida.

    “Three people have been charged after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement completed its investigation into a campaign finance scheme in the 2020 Florida state Senate race.

    The individuals are charged with the scheme to run “ghost” candidates in the state of Florida to benefit Republican Senate candidates.

    Jestine Phillea Iannotti, 36, of Winter Springs, and James Eric Foglesong, 45, of Winter Park, are facing criminal charges and Benjamin Richard Paris, 38, of Longwood, is being served a court summons for his part in the scheme, according to the state Department of Law Enforcement.”
